The first employee reductions are occurring in 2023, and the plant shutdown is to be completed by March 31, 2024.The closing of the plant, which manufactures automobile airbag inflators, affects the lives of hundreds of Kentuckians and their families. As with any event that threatens your livelihood and financial stability, employees and those recently laid off need trusted legal guidance about their rights.Our attorneys at Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer represent Daicel plant workers and have helped a number of workers in Kentucky affected by layoffs and plant closings. We are available to assist you, too. The lawyers you may have seen in our Kentucky Courage\u2122 TV commercials are the same ones who will assist you now during this difficult time. During a free consultation, an attorney can discuss your rights to unemployment insurance benefits and workers\u2019 compensation benefits. If we represent you, we can help you pursue the full range of benefits available by Kentucky law.Potential Benefit Claims of Affected Daicel Plant EmployeesAs a Daicel plant employee affected by the Beaver Dam plant closure, you owe it to yourself and your family to understand your legal rights and the available unemployment benefits to you.Unemployment InsuranceKentucky unemployment insurance provides financial assistance to workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.Daicel has stated that all full-time employees will be eligible to collect 13 weeks of severance pay if they remain on the job until released. If you receive a severance package, keep in mind that you are still eligible to collect unemployment benefits starting immediately after you are terminated from your job. The size of the unemployment check depends on the amount of wages you earned while employed. Our Kentucky Courage\u2122 attorneys can assist you if you have any problem obtaining unemployment benefits.Workers\u2019 CompensationMany manufacturing jobs are physically demanding. Some injuries develop gradually over months or years rather than as a result of a specific workplace accident. These injuries are known as wear and tear injuries. Have you developed pain in your back, neck, or joints from the wear and tear caused by your job? Many people associate aches and pains or hearing loss as symptoms of aging. However, the daily trauma of performing a manual job may have accelerated the wear and tear to part of your body.If you have aches and pains, you should not hesitate to file for workers\u2019 compensation benefits, even though you can\u2019t point to a specific event that caused your pain. Our workers\u2019 compensation attorneys have helped a number of plant workers receive workers\u2019 compensation benefits for accelerated wear and tear. Some have valid claims for both wear and tear and hearing loss. We can help you schedule the medical exams so your application for workers\u2019 compensation benefits can be filed as soon as you are laid off from Daicel Corporation. You still have a right to file a workers\u2019 compensation claim while drawing unemployment benefits. But don\u2019t wait to contact an attorney, or you may lose this option.Social Security DisabilityIf you are in your 50s or older and have physical problems, you may have a hard time landing another job and maintaining gainful employment. You may need to file for Social Security Disability benefits if you are eligible. A Social Security disability attorney at Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer can review your individual circumstances and medical record and discuss your legal options for pursuing disability benefits or Social Security early retirement benefits.How Can a Layoff Lawyer Help You?Dan Yeast (left), McKinnley Morgan (center), and Roy Collins (right)The attorneys at Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer stand up for Kentuckians and their families who are going through hard times, such as job losses through no fault of their own.
